Coach Ernest Taubodo of the Elite Time Hoops Academy offers what is happening with his squads in Las Vegas:
16/Under Elite Time Hoops
The 16/U ETH team is competing in the Center Stage tournament July 22-26 in Las Vegas. Day One saw young ETH take on the Arizona Future All-Stars. The game started off with ETH taking an early 12-6 lead. Arizona then brought in their bigger post players to neutralize the quickness of the ETH guards. The game took on an erratic pace with both teams committing multiple turnovers. In the end, ETH took control and defeated AZ by a 16 point margin. The ETH player of the game was Gabe Bealer. Gabe scored with a balance attack inside and out. His athleticism really took a toll on Arizona. ETH takes on One Pass Ahead, the home team from Las Vegas. The 2:30 game will be the 2nd pool play game in as many days.
17/Under Elite Time Hoops
The 17/U ETH team is competing in the Adidas Super 64 tournament July 22-26 in Las Vegas. Day One started at 9:00 a.m. taking on DGibbs Hoops from Houston Texas. Team Gibbs was a scrappy group of long range shooters. ETH jumped to a 44-28 half time lead by imposing their will inside. There were 11 college coaches in attendance for the early morning game. The second half showed the true spirit of Team Gibbs. ETH struggled to stop the offensive three-point barrage from the young Texas guards. Coach Sondhi adjusted with three different defenses to finally contain the TX offense. ETH outlasted DGibbs 72-64 to start the tournament 1-0 in Pool Play. JT Adenrele was the most balanced player for ETH offensively and defensively. The next game is scheduled at 7:40pm against Mass Rival Elite from Massachusetts.
ETH battled the Rivals back and forth for the first four minutes without either team extending the lead on the other. After a late surge in the first half, ETH took an early 38-26 lead at the half. The second half started with stifling defense from ETH causing three straight turnovers from the Rivals. ETH took advantage and extended the lead before a quick time out from the Massachusetts coach. On the next possession, Chad Haysbert took a one on one advantage and drove baseline with a 2-handed dunk attempt on a Rivals player. Chad's agressiveness earned him a trip to the free throw line where he converted on both attempts. ETH then raised it's level of intensity and dictated the tempo for the rest of the game. The end of game result was a 73-48 victory over the talented team from Massachusetts. ETH will take on the Las Vegas Dynasty Friday evening at 5:00pm.
